See story here.
While home poker games are legal, these charlatans were asking each player for $5 to contribute to beer and pizza. ANY sort of house “rake” is illegal and not to be tolerated.
As many of the players sometimes parked illegally, the San Mateo police were forced to raid the game in full riot-gear and with weapons drawn.
$1,300 of cash was seized for the police general fund (a common fate for any ill-gotten gains) and a 5 year old child was removed from the home and delivered to child protective services.
